Part 3 of Alanya!! And now, after arriving and going to the wall, we do the thing we missed! Let's go swimming for the first time this year! Of course, this event took place a couple of months ago from now, and I am writing very late 😅. But I can't change anything.
So, we swam for the first time in March. In Turkey, the water is the coldest in March, surprisingly, at least that's what my mother told me. And today I will tell about the whole day from the beginning. So, after a nice rest at our hotel, we headed to a cafe. There we drank coffee and relaxed a little. The view from the window is simply wonderful. Sunrise. The sea and the famous mountain that I wrote about in the last post. Cozy atmosphere.
After meetings, we finally called a taxi and headed to the long-awaited beach. But not just any beach, but Cleopatra's beach! We saw it from the lift and it looked great. And now I want to tell you a little about this beach. Cleopatra Beach in Alanya is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful in the world! It is not surprising that, according to stories, the Queen of Egypt Cleopatra herself liked him. Giant cedars supporting the sky, emerald water. This is a great place to relax. The beauty of this place fascinated Cleopatra.
Everything here was perfect for her, except for one thing. The queen's only complaint was that the sand was too fine. He clung to her feet, causing the woman's irritation. Just like me. And then the Roman emperor Mark Antony, who was in love with her, ordered to bring here a large golden sand from the Nile valley. Now it is very cozy and comfortable to rest here. Although the sand is not very comfortable even now.
Hundreds of centuries later, this beautiful fairy tale attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world to Alanya. This beach captivates every tourist who comes here. So we finally arrived! Change clothes, tie your hair, that's it! You can swim. The beauty of the beach is truly enchanting. This clear water is beautiful, and not too cold! In order not to go in for a long time, I just jump into the water. I will tell you, this is one of the beaches that I liked the most. You swim in this water and relax completely.
But in addition to the good sides, there are also disadvantages. For example, plastic bags in the water floating along the shore 🥲. But it no longer depends on nature, but on people. Please, if you have trash, throw it in the trash, don't leave it 🙏. But you know, this beach is not the dirtiest I have ever seen.
So, but in general, this beach is very nice, and if you want to relax with a nice view of the sea, Cleopatra beach is for you. By the way, I couldn't swim for a long time because I was a little sick, but cold water cures everything. And I am without rest on the sand! The sand was already warm because it was the end of March, and the sun was starting to warm up a little.
But it's already evening and you need to get ready! And here we are again in the cafe of our hotel! Coffee with whipped cream. Also, I don't know why, but the waiters asked for a photo with me. And so we returned to the hotel room. The sunset is very beautiful. I like to watch different sunsets every day. This time it was yellow-red. Very nice...
Bye bye everyone! 🏖️🪸😍
